Survivor of Third Reich Warns Americans

Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors
trained at the University of Vienna . After Hitler, health care was
socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government.
The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors
for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m.,
40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were
full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for
your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into
socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped,
so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

(Obamacare, anyone?)

As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income.
Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to
establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care
and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government
and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free
handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns.
Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few)
was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding
and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms.
Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to
turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was
futile not to comply voluntarily.

(Obama has just signed a couple dozen dictations executive orders, violating the Constitution, to ban pretty much most guns and mandate registration)

Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until
1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened
overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead,
we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles.
The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by
little eroded our freedom.

(Obama has been in power four years already...)

(The Communists weren't really any better than the Nazis!):

After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria. Women were
raped, preteen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When
the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could,
dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole
orchards of fruit, and what they couldn’t destroy, they burned. We
called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves
in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops
mobilized. Those who couldn’t, paid the price. There is a monument in
Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the
Russians. This is an eye witness account.
